Eggplant Fries

These flavorful frites are not only a clever riff on a fried standard, they're also lamb's best friend. The Middle Eastern accents in the za'atar spice blend pair well with the gamey meat and intensify the eggplants flavor. After many experiments, Terzo Piano chef Meg Colleran Sahs discovered that a rice-flour coating resulted in the highest crunch factor.

I'm not sure I can describe just how delicious these are. I have made them twice. They are literally melt in your mouth good. I want to make these all the time now! The first time I made these, I ended up with lots of extra coating so this time I made it with half the flour but kept all the other ingredients (the spices, zest, salt, etc) at the same amount . This made the fries a little zestier. Mmmmm!

Oops- first time posting review- forgot the ratings, so here it is again!
Made these the other day to try something new with glut of eggplant from CSA. Loved them while they were hot, but when they cooled they got soggy. However, the next day I reheated the leftovers by baking spread out on a baking sheet and they crisped back up and stayed that way. I plan to make them ahead next time and reheat in the oven before serving. They were really delicious!

Winged this without fry thermometer & subbed curry powder for za'tar as a previous poster mentioned. The fries were delicious --- light & very flavorful. I made a dipping sauce but it was totally unnecessary as the fries were great on their own.
